I was injured at Barona Casino in Ramona Ca on 10/9/2013 due

Customer Question

I was injured at Barona Casino in Ramona Ca on 10/9/2013 due to their negligence. I filed a Workers Comp claim immediately to get treatment.I had been invited there to survey their elevators as I am the Service Manager for Kone Elevator Co.The casino is on an Indian reservation and consider themselves a sovereign nation.There was a light rain. I slipped on slippery concrete just outside the main entrance. They immediately laid mats over the concrete path to the sidewalk after I fell. The mats appeared to be for this specific purpose to prevent a hazard.The injury may be very severe.

My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be assisting you with your legal question.

In short, yes they can be sued, but you must sue them in the tribal court on the reservation. You cannot sue them in California state or federal court.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. Please also kindly consider rating my answer positively so that I am credited by the website for my work on your question. Rating positively does not cause an additional charge and does not prevent us from further discussing your questions.

You need to find a personal injury trial lawyer who will take your case on contingency (so you don't have to pay any fees up front).

There are many options to choose from in San Diego as to who will represent you. My cursory search shows that the following law firm advertises as dealing with these sort of lawsuits specifically:http://www.lawyerlee.com/Premises-Liability/Casino-Injuries.shtml

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
